According to him, the country’s economy “hit rock bottom” in the first quarter, which could lead to a crisis.

Zyuganov also suggested that the situation this fall could resemble the events of 1917, when the communists came to power.

It'd be nice is Russia can take back itself from that dick-tater... Get rid of all of Putin's ilk, elect a decent person as president., power wash the stench away, peace talks with their neighbors, condemnation of the US Pedo Party. All that good stuff.

Highly doubt it will happen.

Damn, I want that for the US!

Take it back to what, though? The 1990s? I guess that’d be an improvement. What they really need is progress. Is there any kind of progressive movement in Russia?

There was, but it was all stomped in the very beginning.

It would not be an improvement - do you have any idea how bad the 1990s were in Russia?

There's a reason that Putin has high support, and it's not all manufactured. It's that the Yeltsin shock therapy was really traumatic - largest peacetime drop in life expectancy in recorded history.
